SPIRI'T OF THE PUDLIC JOURNALS. In considering the distress of our working manu facturers, the most important of all duties fin those who feel themselves bound to, uard against the recur, renee of the evil, is to inquire whether it's causes are likely to be permanent or transient, that is, whether a remedy should be sought from time and patience, the natural correctives of ordinary fluctuations in trade, or whether a new litateria medial ought to be explored to meet the case of a novel order of calamity. To the proofs already afforded in this journal, that the griev ance is not merely a suspension of trade, but also a transfer of it to foreign countries, a curious statement of facts from the American Papers will be found ex tracted in another cOlumn. An article .dated Potts mouth, New Hampshire, informs us, that in 1810, before the late war with the Republic, there existed in New Hampshire, altogether, 12 manufacturing esta blishments, which produced in a twelvemonth be tween four and five million yards of cotton cloth. Whereas now, there are in the same county no less than 50 manufactories, making up above 30,000,000 yards. Here there has been a direct increase of more than 500 per cent. It is further stated, that the whole surrounding country has put on a manufacturing as pect ; that villages, of sixty, or. seventy habitations have sprung up, where, a short time back, there were but one or two ; that at Lowell a company was incorpo ratedin January, 1825, with a capital of 600,000 dol• lam-125,0001. sterling—for jean, dimity, twilled goods, &c. ; and that the system spreads from day to day. Now the spread of this system in New Englimil, is, and must be, at the expellee, of old England. The idleness of thousandS of our poor countrymen, and the meagre wages for which others of die's are accustomed to toil, have mulling mysterious in them, when we know that the country which grows the cotton-plant produces also the skill through which it must be fabricated into muslin, and that markets which we were in the habit of supplying to the ex clusion of the whole :world, are now accommodated with the articles which they stand in need of by the workmen living at their door. From such rivals, it is Mere matinesft to suppose that we can resume at plea sure the e:otton manufacture which they have wrested fiom I !.s, as a portion of their natural ioheritance. Th'.e. material is theirs ; hut if it were not, our work ;nen have migrated, and form part of the American population, being driven from home by the high price of bread, the low price of labour, the concentration of capital, and the overflow of a currtiticy which gave the master an irresistible power of starving the poor work man into his, own terms. If we look to the continent of Europe, the advantages against us are not less for midable than those which spring from the encouraging proportion between the price of bread and the rate of wages 'in America. All the European kingdoms are directing their policy to the main object of manufac turing for themselves. If England 'had not been a practical monopolist of other markets besides her own, she needed not to have feared the result of such a dc fensive system in her neighbours. But it is not enough for England to have a share, co-extensive with her ter ritory and population—not to have all is in her case to lose what she had acquired--the numbers and wants of herinhabitantt were created by 'her occupancy of the whole commercial globe. If ousted from many of the points, which she tad 'seized, her artificial wants can be no lo4er satisfied, nor her artificial population subsisted.—liates. Mr. Peel remarked . last Session, that, « though crimes of violence had diminished of late years in this country, yet petty crimes-.-such as pilfering, picking of pockets; swindling, &c., were continually increas ing. The national character has changed with the circumstances of the nation. The once rough and rugged Englishman, who, according to old Fortescue, would not have hesitated to attack, singly, three or four men, hay become in his crimes a cool calculator wait for the aged, the intoxicated, or etildren-...and carefully avoiding those from whom resistance might be apprehended.. It used to be re marked of 'English soldiers in former times, that " they were brave to audacity, but that they would not bear being struck." sow, they are the only soldiers in Europe, who will submit to he flogged. —The people who were once the proudest in Europe, are now driven from pillar to post, with• out murmuring ;—imprisonnient is thought little of poverty has so , tamed the spirit of the peasantry, that, I rat.ier. than pay a fine of a few shillings, they would go to the prison or the tread-mill. Physical suffiering it now the only suf fering with multitudes. A peasant, who has, been dragged before a Justice for nutting, or tres passing in, a wood, or some other trifling matter, has no indignant feeling, if the constable do not handle him too roughly;---the moral, pain amounts to nothing. We most not suppose, however, that though in England the c h ange i n th e c h a racter of the people, and the complexion of their , crimes, have been more marked than in any otter country, that altered circutn stances have not, to a - certain extent, produced corre sponding changes in other countries. .A German po litical writer, Justus Moser, who has been called the Franklin of his country, and who filled a high judicial situation in the latter half of the last century, has been at pains to show the'cennectioo between different de grees of populousness and particular descrilitions of crime. In the Register of the Bailwick of Furstenau, in the Bishopric of Osnaburgh, there are yearly, he observes, (between 1550 and 1600), on an average, 120 piinisbnients for assaults to the effusion of blood, and two murders ; and this number gradually dimi nishes till the time at which he wrote (1770), when, though the population had tripled, the punishments for these cnnies did not I.lllollllt to the twentieth part of the above. On the other hand, fit time former period there were liimrtily any. thefts, but they were punished with exceeding ROVCrity. At thed early perm . ab o ve alluded to the, thefts were few, because the population consisted ahnost exclusively of proprietors and in dependentcultivators. A s A te pop u l a ti on became .more numerous and necessitous, the villages filling person s without posseasion s , with trick and theft, became more and more frequent. P overt y an d • alwayscrimes against property will. go- together. by M. Rublehon, that in France, It is remarked, before the Revolution, time thefts increased with the poverty of the different provinces ; so that French Flanders, wields w 4.4 the richest, had the fewest; an d Dauphioy, which was the poorest, had the most. W e a. find, in like manner, in En ;land, an and, that stealing dI • fering abound most in the agricultural districts of the South and West, th ew . The tae- the population has greatly outgrown the means for employing . • • - cessities of time ayed people have made them mean..spiritcd and tricky ; and it is said that the cunning OD a at a pariah pay-table in Hampshire or a penny . or Wiltshire, Saturday (tight, for the sake of extractmg two extra from the Overseer, abriost exceeds bellei• ft is, no doubt consolatory to know that the peace of tiociety has lido to apprehend from violence ; yet it is no Small alloy to this, satisfaction,. • - sfaction,.. find povgrty • . , mean-spiritedneSs, and 'crcints against property, on the other, bond, gaining so fast ground. Though a man niay oe in no danger of being run through or knocked down, yet he may be kept in a constant State of Un easiness by the petty depredations to which he is sub ject. It has been inore than once remarked that a greater change has taken place in the character of the population of this country within the last thirty years, than for a century before. It is during that period chiefly that all the old habits of the country have been hrokeh through, and that the population . has , been suffered, in many places, to become excessive:. The crimes against property have more than quadrupled, and nip, prisons and correction houses 'are springing 'tip in every quarter. Architecture was formerly dis played in churches ; the grand subject for it in Eng land is prisons. That imprisonments are unnecessa• rily multiplied by bad laws 'Mid the StaW of the Coln mission, is tto daunt true. Still, however, we had bad laws and feolish i justices before the last thirty years, as well as since. The great cause of the growth of petty crimes, and abjectness of character, is, no doubt, the excessive poverty of the population. Some attempt ought to be made to remedy the disease in the eco nomy of the country.—Morning Chronicle. While the orators who profess to be the organs of the Roman. Catholics at home would have us believe that both themselves and the peculiar tenets of their re ligion are alike friendly to political freedom among mankind, the organs and the members of the same religion in other countries, but especially in Spain and Portugal, are at no less pains to convince us that they bate liberty as much asthey love, dominion. The his tory of the world, perhaps, never exhibited any thing so degrading as the political state of the first of these countries; and the efforts which are making to arrtst the progress of freedom in the latter, show pretty clearly the spirit from which both the one and the other proceeds. There is a remarkable passage in the Proclamation of Don Miguel, which we gave in Saturday's Paper, which fully confirms this obierva. tion. Not Satisfied with denouncing " Death to the Revolutionists (as he calls them) and the Constitu tion," this a most serene Infant," says to the Portu guese nation, " Remember the Holy Religion which we profess ; and do not admit liberty of worship, that principle of a Republican Government." Now we should like to pause, if it were . possible, and ask Mr. O'Connell, and the other boisterous friends to the " liberties" of Ireland, what they say to this. The truth is, that the Roman Catholic Religion is, and always has been opposed to freedom in every shape ; and that its principles, in these respects, are unchang ed and unchangeable, the world did not want the testimony of Don Miguel to convince them: The ready way in which the Catholics at home, in the case of " the Wings," for instance, can change their opinions as suits their convenience, is a tolerable earnest of their own tergiversation and insin cerity in such' matters. We do not state this as any overwhelming' argument against Catholic Emancipa tion ; but only as calculated to place the views both of its advocates and opponents upon their true grounds. Mr. O'Connell, and other clamourers for Catholic Emancipation, are exceedingly mistaken, if they Sup poso that their friends, among the people of England at least, are in any degree blinded to the true prin. ciples of Catholicity, by any of the political .acting which they witness on the boards of the Associa l . tion or elsewhere. The truth, we believe, is, that the Protestant friends of Catholic Emancipation place the subject upon munch higher grounds than the Catholiol themselves would wish them do. Their argument is something like this We know the erroneous, the mischievous, and u changeable nature of your principles, from which the courage and good sense of our ancestors have freed us ; but we believe too, that these is no longer any danger to be apprehended from you, and therefore our principles of toleration forbid our excluding you any longer front the enjoyment of political rights. This we believe to be the principle upon which intelligent Protestants advocate Catholic Emancipation. Don Miguel's Proclamation convinces us, that it is exactly what Catholics would not do were they in our places ; for, according to his most serene Infancy, even," li berty of worship" is a principle abhorrent to the Ca tholic Religion. It is of the very essence of Protest antism, however, to resist these odious principles—it is upon their downfall that it - has been established and it is not by imitating, but by condemning and re versing such principles, that its superiority has been, and ever must be made manifest to the world.—Morn ing Herald.

MARLBOROUGII-STREET—Casz or Lizur.-Cor.ozna. Auctina the course of the morning, a clerk to Mr. Sere!, the Solicitor, who appeared to defend Lieut.-Col. Arehdall, when charged with an assault upon Frederick Withers, his servant, came to the office and presented to Sir George Farrant a letter, enclosing an order which had been issued by Lord Chief Justice Abbott, by which it appeared that his Lordship had consented to Lieut.-Colonel Archdall being discharged, upon entering into his own recognizancee of 500/. for his appearance in the Court of King's Bench, to answer the charge, and into which Court it appears the matter has been removed by a writ of certiorari. The Clerk required his Lordship's order to be immediately com plied with ; that the defendant should be brought up, and upon his entering into the recognizance of 5001. that he should be discharged. Sir G. FAB-RANT, however, was not the Magistrate who for merly heard the case, or by whom the defendant was committed, and therefore declined acceding to the request of Mr. Sarel's clerk, but desired he would attend in the evening, and then Lieut. Col. Archdall should be brought to the office from prison. In the evening, when Mr. Conant had , taken his seat on the Bench, Mr. Fitzpatrick, the chief clerk, handed him the order of the Chief Justice, and remarked that his Lordship had ordered him to be discharged, upon entering into his own recognizance of 5001. . . . Mr. COVANT expressed his surprise at the circumstance, and asked, if any professional gentleman was in attendance for the pro secution? Mr. Fitzpatrick replied, that Mr. Harmer lied appeared on the part of the prosecution ; but he was not now in attentistice. He had, however, received notice that application would be made that evening for the defendant's discharge. The prisoner was placed at the bar. He appeared much thin ner than when he underwent his fo.•mer examination, and an swered the questions put to him in a sharp and short manner. The Order of the Lord Chief Justice was then read. It was to the following effect : " The King on the prosecution of Frederick Withers v. Richard Archdall.—l do order that the defendant, Richard Arebdall, do enter into his own recognizance of 5001. before any one of his Ma jesty's Justices of the Peace for the County of Middlesex, for his appearance in his Majesty's Court of King's Bench, at Westmin ster, on the first day of Michaelmas Term, to answer to an indict ment against him for certain assaults and misdemeanours, accord ing to the cause of the said Court, and so from day to day, and not depart the Court without leave ; he, the said Richard Archdall, he discharged 'out of the custody of the Keeper of Tot bill-fields Prison, as to his commitment herein. Dated this 27th Septembeb 1826.. (Signed) " C. ABBOTT." Mr. CONANT said to the prisoner, you are to enter into your own recognizance of 5001. for your appearanee in the Court of King's Bench.—Are you prepared so to do ?—Areltdall—Yes. Where did you live at the time you were taken into custody? —ln South Audley-street. What number?-41. Are you of any business or profession ?—I am an Officer on half-pay. A Lieutenant ?—Yea. _ _ What Re g iment ?—On half-pay of the 17th Regt. of Foot, Lieut.-Colonel Arebsirtlimas then, bound ►n the retiognizanee of bho/. and left the office. Mr. CoriaNT remarked, that it was vary singular no one bad attended from Mr. Harmer's office. Mr. Fitzpatrick said, that in the course of the morning Mr. Chitty was in the office attending upon other business, and he said he was present when the application WAS made to the Chief Justice. Mr. CONANT said then, he was satisfied, hut he was fear Nome deception had been practised to procure the defendant's liberation. Not the afighteat alteration has taken place in the prianners appearance from his confinement. This person was, in the year 1809, a Major, and subsequently the Lieutenant-Colonel com manding the 40th regiment of foot : but while so in command wee removed from the service for having a soldier of the regiment severely Hogged without going through the ceremony of a court martial. tie next purchased a Cornetry, and afterwards a Lieu tenancy, in the llth Light Dragoons, from which he 'exchanged to the half-pay of the 17th Foot, where he is now placed. MARYLEBONE, —Richard John Burge, a stone-carver, residing at No. El, Stafford-'street, Lisson-grove,. was charged by F.mily, his wife, a smart, young modest-looking female, al though not seventeen years of age, (and who appeared still younger,) with an assault.

DARING OUTRAGE , ON A FEMALE, John Taft, a young man of respectable appearance, and apparently about 24 years old, stood indicted for assaulting Charlotte Online% -- - Charlotte Gunnell, d 3Yelltig sSoman about 20 year's old, of fine figure, and prepossessing apPeill'antei said she knew the prisoner, who was ostler at the King's kik ht Ux bridge. He had kept her company for two years. On the 18th of August, Miss Bowden, the sister of the Rev. Mr: Ward, the Rector of Ivor, with whom she lived as ser vant, gave her leave to go out : and in the evening, about a quarter before 9, she tailed on the prisoner, who promised, if she would wait a little 'While, he would see her part of the way home. She accepted his Offeromd at grout a qttetter past 9 they set off The distance site had to go was about miles. They 2 They talked on a variety of subjeete,Mid irt &friendly way for some time,but after they had got about a Mile on' thetoad,his ' manner changed, and he answered several inquiries,she made of him, in a gruff and unkind manner. She in consequetice remained silent and they walked for half a mile without speaking. This brought them to Cowley Bridge, where he began taking improper liberties with her. She resisted, and he then seized her by the waist, and said, " You shall go over there, and be to you," and as he so said, threw her over the parapet of the bridge into the She screamed for assistance, and, when nearly exhausted, two men came up, and got her out of the water. She soon after became insensible, and can recollect nothing of what had occurred before the following morning, when the Rev. Mr. Green, the curate of the Rev. Mr. Ward, came and conveyed her' to Mt. Ward's house. Cross-examined by Mr. BOLLAND—She had a very great affection for the prisoner; did not know that he had lost two situations in consequence of her going so fre quently after him. She told Mr. Green that she fell in, because she felt too much for the young man then to think of hurting , him.. This was on the Saturday, and yet, on the following Monday, she went before the 'Magistrates and made her complaint. Does not remember seeing a person named London ; knows there is such a person in the village; does not remember whether Mr. Green asked her as to the young man's taking liberties with her. Samuel Newport, labourer, described his getting the girl out of the water, and carrying her to his cottage with the assistance of Clarke. She was . senseless when they. got her out of the water; but, as they were carrying her along, she partly revived, and murmured, the words—" Oh, the ostler ! Oh, the ostler of the King's Arms ! bring hint to me." Witness went, accompanied by Clarke, over to Uxbridge to make inquiries of the ostler. He was beginning to tell him his errand, when the prisoner said, " You need not tell me, I know all about it ; (I.—n her, I wish she had been drowned, It is not her happiness, but mine, that I have to study." Mr. BOLLAND made a long and ingenious defence, and concluded, by eallingr-- Mr.,Bdward Grimatone, surgeon, at Ivor, who said, he mu.) intimately acquainted with the Rev. Mr. Ward, her master, and having heard many rumours about the manner in which she came into the water, he asked her about it. She replied, that Taft had pushed her through a place where the rail was broken into the water. He told her, that could not be, as the rail was at least six yards distant from the water, and urged her to recollect, that she might be called on to repeat her words on oath. She said she knew that, and was telling nothing but the truth. He then asked, whether Taft had taken any improper liberties with her before pushing her, and she answered " - none." The Rev. Mr. Green, citrate to Mr. Ward, the rector of Ivor, said, he fetched her on the morning after the occurrence from the cottage to the house of the Rev. Mr. Ward. He questioned her, in the presence of Miss Row den, shortly after. He asked. her how she came into the water. She replied, " The ostler at the King's Arms can tell you all about it. He saw her again that day, and having heard something in the interim, he commenced, by observing, " So I understand you have acknowledged Taft did throw you in ? She replied, " She had." Witness their asked, how he did it; and she answered, "We were walking quietly, and he pushed me through a place where the rail was broken." He asked if he pushed vio lently, and she said, " No, he gave me two slight Pushes." Mr. Green, the landlord of the King's Arms, said, Taft was a humane, kind hearted man. The prosecutrix was continually corning after him, and drawing him from his business. He had discharged him once in consequence of it. Henry London, porter to a wine merchant, saw the woman at the cottage, and asked her if Taft had throw her in. She answered—" Oh, no, fetch him to me." Charles Jones confirmed this testimony; and on Mr. Alley expressing his incredulity, offered to detail a good deal more conversation that had passed The Jury, after consulting for a quarter of an hour, found the prisoner— Guilty.

A WIFE POISONED BY lIER HUSBAND.. (From the Cumberland Packet, Sept. 26.) INQUEST ON SARAH Fox.—On Friday and Saturday last an Inquest was held at Bank-house, in GosfortlN before WILLIAM BRAGG, Esq., Coroner, on the body of Sarah Fox, wife of Robert Fox, who died on the preeed , ing Tuesday. Mary pharaoh sworn, said, I am mother of the deceased,. who, with her intiband, lived at our house. On Saturday last deponent and her. husband went from 'home about fire' o'clock in the afternoon, to attend a christening at a neigh • bour's home, and left the deceased quite well, and in good. spirits, considering her situation, being pregnant and near her coArietitent. About half-past seven the same even ing Robert Fei, husband of the deceased, came to the house where we were, and told me I must go home imme diately, Sarah was. very ifl. On the road I asked Robert how Sarah held, he said she was very sick, and did not think she would live till morning, and that Margaret (a younger sister) was also very bad. On arriving home r asked Sarah how she felt herself ? She said she was vett bad, and that Bob had warmed her some coffee was left from morning; it had a bad taste; he had' put something into it. He said she took modes, but he would make a better cup by p ottin g but he into it; this cup was worse than the fi rst , she not drink it. Little Margaret ta s t ed it, and was also sick. The remaining part was put into the pig'a meat, and the pig was the same way affected as my two daughters. I thought the bad taste complained of arose from the water having stood in the kettle the whole of the day. I theie fore washed the kettle well out, and made sonte more, cups of tea, of which they both drank, ' and thought it_ good. Robert, her husband, desired me to go to bed, aid ' good. would take care of her till the morning. I accordingly, went to bed, and on Sunday morning when I 01 " a, I asked her how she had rested, and how she wag? answer was, that she was very bad, and that her husband had given het the remainder of the posset, an d ha d P h u some more stuff into it. During the whole of Sunday fi e continued to retch very much, and about four o'clockiii% Monday morning she was delivered of a still-born which had a lery unnatural appearance, being of 1) 1 11 ,a, The sickness still continued, and I asked her if she 7, so eat any thing ? She said she could not, her throat w as bad, and was burning. She frequently complained o ftir head-ache, pain; in the stomach, and a burning heat t o l e her throat, attended ritht great thirst, and drank. Il e quantities of water and beer.. The deceased gait!! Her presence of her husband , " that the stuff 'he. put.into.r.; coffee made her bad."
